FINDING A “GOOD FIT” SCHOOL - pROGRAm HIGHLIGHTS 2015-2016

day of service - senior scholar Malcolm Gill reflecting on his Day of Service:

“I met a wonderful, strong, bold, and gorgeous woman named Victoria. The stories she

shared with me left me breathless. When she asked what my dreams were, she cried because she didn’t have a choice when she was younger. It brought me

to tears because the generation I live in say they don’t know what they’ll do in the future. For her

sake I promise to graduate and pursue my dreams in honor for her and myself.”

COLLEGE APPLICATIONS/ACCEPTANCES: the class of 2016 submitted 301 college applications. Scholars were accepted to 7 out of 10 colleges on average.

COLLEGE VISITS: Students went on college visits to schools representing a variety of campus experiences; this year we visited the University of Wisconsin-madison, augustana college, and lawrence University.

“Evanston Scholars prepares talented, resilient and accomplished young people

for success in college and beyond through their commitment to excellence, individualized

mentoring, and support for students to reach their full potential.”

Sara Cohen, Assistant Dean of Admissions at Amherst College

“I have found this volunteer experience tremendously rewarding. There is nothing

more important than education in my mind. Helping to launch my mentee on this journey is

very gratifying. Watching all of the hard work she has put into the

process has been amazing...” –Evanston Scholars Mentor

Spanning the full six years of the Evanston Scholars program, the one-to-one mentor relationship provides the guidance every Scholar needs throughout his or her college journey. Supported by Evanston Scholars staff, mentors help their students apply to colleges, fill out the fafSa financial aid forms, research scholarship opportunities, and evaluate offers. once in college, mentors provide additional emotional support to help Scholars adapt to college life and overcome obstacles as they arise.

IT TAKES A VILLAGEat Evanston Scholars, our goal is to see more students start and finish college. through mentors, peer relationships, and learning opportunities, we seek to bolster our Scholars’ support systems, thereby improving their chances of obtaining a college degree. our passionate staff, dedicated mentors and parents, committed donors, and numerous volunteers continue to grow and strengthen our organization. our Scholars are succeeding in college and mentoring their younger siblings and friends along the way. it truly does take a village.

our mentors

on when times get tough.”-Evanston Scholar
